i can’t vote in that “do you think you’re cooler online or irl” poll going around because today i met @boudiccabeautiful in meatspace (a delight!) and we talked about books the whole time (with the topic significantly biased toward wot). like any other good piece of software, i offer a consistent experience across platforms

suddenly scared bc if you are a person things can hurt you. when i had missing bits a lot of the things that could’ve hurt me passed through the holes instead, thus doing minimal damage, but i currently present a contiguous hittable target. i feel like it should be allowed that i could yell “scatter!” to cue the various glued-together pieces to scurry safely away in different directions

“I, too, feel the need to reread the books I have already read,“ a third reader says, “but at every rereading I seem to be reading a new book, for the first time. Is it I who keep changing and seeing new things of which I was not previously aware? Or is reading a construction that assumes form, assembling a great number of variables, and therefore something that cannot be repeated twice according to the same pattern? Every time I seek to relive the emotion of a previous reading, I experience different and unexpected impressions, and do not find again those of before. At certain moments it seems to me that between one reading and the next there is a progression: in the sense, for example, of penetrating further into the spirit of the text, or of increasing my critical detachment. At other moments, on the contrary, I seem to retain the memory of the readings of a single book one next to another, enthusiastic or cold or hostile, scattered in time without a perspective, without a thread that ties them together. The conclusion I have reached is that reading is an operation without object; or that its true object is itself. The book is an accessory aid, or even a pretext.”

literally hate how lgbtq ppl are constantly asking "am i valid?" "is this a valid way to be?" every 5 seconds. girl idk what to tell you but if you live your life seeking validation from others your self-image will always exist at their mercy. you gotta get some self-respect and stop begging others to validate you
